Who do filter makers get their steel from?

[53' Stude]

Was thinking about this other day when a friend and I took a truckload of burnt out oil filters and #1 steel in. Seeing how OFR (owned by Safety Kleen(now Clean Harborrs) recycles so many filters I had to wonder. OFR is Oil Fikter Recyclers aso

Lowest bidder of the quarter.

I'm in the manufacturing sector, I buy metal from Admiral Metals, Pennsylvania Steel and Penn Stainless.

I don`t steel them, I pay for them.

Our source for steel components are often aligned with many of the same steel producers for the automotive industry...that was part of the headaches that came along with the supply issues caused by COVID. When they scaled back for the auto industry, it put a hurting on everyone else in that ecosystem.

The metal used in all "cans" is a pellet which is smashed in a die machine, no?
